1/6 Desert Sands Sandtrooper

[galactiboy]

Yeah too much money, just a quick question to anyone seeing this, are many people replacing the Prometheus with slim TTs? My Pros all have limp joints and cannot stand on their own, I have ten Pro Stormies all together so I cannot afford to replace them all but I was wondering if people thought it was a worthy swap...

The new armored bodies have much tighter joints and might be a better alternative as they only cost about $10 a piece from Toy Anxiety. Just try to get relatively newer ones as the first few uses of the body were not as good.

Result! Forbidden Planet have put mines as shipped. Ohh some trooper goodness coming my way. I feel like the last person to get one.

Just broke down and ordered this. Had a little over $35 in RP from SS and with shipping came out to $113US. I am really looking forward to getting it. Can't wait for the Snowtrooper and new Vader hopefully later this year.

24 hours later and its in my sticky paws it really is better in person. Definitely the best sandie paint job for me. Very natural looking and a nice tone all over. As usual the first thing after unboxing was to unbunch the shoulders and lift the helmet a little bit.

If you want a Sandtrooper this is the one to get.

Fear not, I still do not have one. But I would like to own several. Damn all these preorders that are on flex pay!

Totally agree with the paint job; best of the bunch! Had to get rid of that wonky looking fx helmet though!

Some pics of my set . . . . . .

Great pics TK0083! I like what you did with the Sandtroopers without helmets. Very well done.

Is there a good trick to get the helmets sit higher (and attached)? I always only fitted the helmets loose on top of the balljoint. It looks quite ok then but always i touch the figure the helmets fall off.
